Thanks Pcanh. Although Spica is a double star or binary, the two stars are too close to be seen as individual points in a telescope. Also, the use of Spica for finding Saturn will not always be easily possible, since Saturn moves slowly against the backdrop fo the stars. Right now it is approaching Spica, and in fact will pass it even more closely in about one year, then slowly move away.

Djana, thank you for your comment. But if you are talking about astrology and horoscopes, I am afraid that I have nothing to say, except that.there is no scientific evidence whatsoever that the postiions of distant stars has any effect on humans except for the meanings we invent.
